study

We’re here to get the results that matter…

We understand that it’s important to achieve that balance between having fun and getting work done. To complement our high energy communities, we’ve got high speed wireless internet throughout our villages so you can study on the go. Our e-libraries boast group and private study spaces that are designed to suit your study style.

support

Can I help you?

With trained staff on site 24 hours a day, we are there when you need it. We have developed systems to make sure that all our residents can get the help they need, as and when they need it.

Our dedicated team of Resident Assistants (RAs) are hand picked directly from the student community. They’re responsible for organising events and helping you settle in to uni life.

And you know what really counts? RA’s are students too! They’ve been in your shoes and get what it’s like to be new on campus.

V1 is all about linking you and your uni to make the student experience the best it can be. The V1 Crew will reach out to you before you arrive and answer the niggling questions we know you have!

You’ll be part of a thriving student community with awesome social events, educational facilities and learning opportunities right at your doorstep.

Whether you want to relax in the lounge, take part in a cooking class or do some last minute work on your essay, you won’t have to go far. We’ve got a range of facilities designed especially for students, so you can be sure that we’re prepared for your busy lifestyle.

security

Our villages are as cool as icebergs. And what you see is just the tip.

Under the vibrant communities and exciting events, is a swaddle of important safety and support goodness that you don’t always see, but will always feel. Our staff are fully trained in crisis management, first aid and how to integrate with local emergency services!

Safety is a priority. We have staff on-site throughout the day, CCTV monitoring, intermittent university security patrols and individually lockable bedrooms.

surroundings

Skyrocket your attendance by choosing to live on campus!

Most of our villages are located right on campus, so you can wake up and be in class minutes later. You’ll be right in the heart of the action, right as it happens.

Cool like a holiday resort, but a resort that’s located in the innovation and knowledge zone of your uni of choice. Living at our villages is a whole heap of fun.
